In this fascinating and original work, we embark upon a journey of imagination and exploration from the beginning of time to the end of infinity. The speculative essays and true-life case files presented here may help shed fresh light upon many of the puzzles and enigmas that have confronted humanity since the beginning of time, enigmas reaching deep into the fibers of our very being and existence. They are the primitive fears that lie concealed at the very core of the human condition, fears that are only now beginning to lose their mind-numbing terror as our understanding of the nature of reality gradually increases and superstition, lies, and ignorance fade into the hooded gloaming of barely remembered dreams. Although the contents of this book of necessity often embrace current, cutting-edge, scientific thinking, it is not a science book, rather, it is a book of wonders and of hope.
